Here's what 5 years and 5K looks like

BEFORE:

This isn't a true before picture- just before the braces were off. When we started this whole ordeal she had a bite like a Shitzu. It is good that we started fixing it early. (If you want to know what an adult looks like with an underbite check out Michael Phelps smile. He has a big bottom jaw and his top teeth are all crowded and scrunched.) If we hadn't started when she was 8 she would have needed her jaw broken to fix the problem! Instead she suffered through palate expanders, retainers, gear and lots of pain. To top it off she throws up every time they do a mold. Today was no exception.

AFTER:

Not a true after. She has 4 nights of teeth whitening and then her smile will be perfect!

No they didn't wire her mouth shut *sigh* She has been talking less though since it is impossible to pull her away from the mirror!

Lacey, It was awesome to see you last night too! We'll have to plan more girl stuff!
